Streatham terror attack: Terrorist wearing fake PBIED shot dead by police after stabbing two people

A terrorist was shot dead by police after stabbing two people in what is believed to have been an Islamist-inspired attack in south London.

Sudesh Amman was wearing a fake bomb vest when he attacked people on a busy street in the south London area of Streatham on Sunday afternoon.

Amman, 20, from Harrow, north London, had been released from prison just days earlier after serving time for spreading extremist material.

He had been sentenced in December 2018 to three years and four months in jail after a court heard that he had shared his extremist views with those close to him, even encouraging his girlfriend to murder her parents.
